Sharing Wisdom: Indigenous Elders Perspectives on Waste and the Environment | Session 3
– DETAILS –
Another great Virtual Event Series!
Using a respectful, interview-style storytelling format, CWMA members will hear from Indigenous Elders from across BC as they share their observations and experiences. Indigenous Peoples have been stewards of the land for millennia, and their perspectives stem from this deep, continuous connection that we can all learn from.
These unique events intend to raise awareness of Indigenous perspectives on the environment, waste, and how it impacts our earth and people. This series is part of CWMA’s own efforts toward reconciliation, with an invitation to our members to be part of our journey to build knowledge and community.
Closing the Circle, Session 3: Indigenous Leadership in Zero Waste
For our final session of 2026, the Indigenous Zero Waste Technical Advisory Group (IZWTAG) joins us to share how First Nations across BC are leading on waste: community-designed systems, the barriers they face, and what partnership with local governments and industry can look like. The session will also bring in Elder perspectives on stewardship, connecting this practical work to the deeper knowledge at the heart of this series. We’ll close with open Q&A.
